SharpThought™ IV&V Services

More businesses and government organizations are realizing the benefits of
Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) services and offerings,
evidenced by the growing number of government contracts which require IV&V phases.

At its simplest, IV&V represents a risk mitigation strategy founded upon the independent
and neutral third-party oversight of critical business activities and project phases. IV&V
brings the following benefits to bear on complex and demanding projects:

The independent nature of IV&V allows project success and quality to be measured and
improved in an objective manner, lending credibility and defensibility to projects which require
demonstration of achievement.

Experts who are proficient in Process Improvement are able to identify, prevent,
and mitigate risks that occur during common business activities, reducing budget and schedule
overruns.

Experts who are proficient in particular technologies are able to offer subject matter
expertise and experience as a means to verify major decisions regarding technology and business
process.

The cost of hiring IV&V experts as a control mechanism is far less than the cost of
hiring an entire team of subject matter experts to achieve the same amount of quality.

IV&V. Let our vast expertise improve the bottom line of your organization.
